A new chapter in film comparisons, I look at the differences between Kodak Tri-X as our standard and Arista EDU 100. All films in these comparisons were shot using the same lighting and position, developed in Kodak D-76 using the manufacturer’s recommended time, and printed on Ilford Classic FB at 11x14 size using the same contrast settings. The printing time varied to cancel any changes in film base fog from film to film. I included the H&D curves for each film to see the individual differences and we look at the overall print, the spectral response of each film, and the grain characteristics.

Thanks. I recently developed a roll in Rodinal 1-25 and was impressed with both fine grain and tonality. Arista now has a new 100 speed film called Arista Pan 100. Not an EDU film but German.

@NGC6144 8 месяцев назад

That Arista Pan 100 is the same as Wolfen NP100 which are rebranded I think from some ORWO stock.

Thanks for this. So some internet pundits claim this is Foma 100 - and the curves look indeed pretty similar. Interesting comment about the sharpness here though. You didn't notice the poor sharpness in your Foma 100 review (you noticed instead it was grainier than you'd have expected from a 100ISO film wrt Trix). For all we know (and we know little) the Arista could be b-stock or old-stock rebranded Foma - the Arista boxes don't follow Foma's batch numbering. If both Foma and Arista were available to me, I'd go with Foma all the time - Foma 100 is absolutely gorgeous in Rodinal 1:50 regularly and gently inverted (NOT stand/semistand).

The color chart also came out different than Foma

@l10industries 8 месяцев назад

They have literally the same edge markings. Needless to say, I buy which ever is cheaper and use them interchangeably.

Isn't Arista Edu a rebranded Fomapan 100?

@ethanbunch3274 8 месяцев назад

Sure is! I shot alot of this and am about to bulk load my own Arista/Fomapan

@NGC6144 8 месяцев назад

I've noticed with Tri-X that the mid's and highlights have extremely fine grain as opposed to the lower end which seems typically grainy for an ISO 400 film; The modern formulation is different than it was a few decades ago. I think Tri-X uses two different emulsion coatings with the finer grain layer on top that contributes to its apparent sharpness.

@dankoons5577 7 месяцев назад

thanks for your tests. The curves and color target really show important characteristics. Will you be comparing ortho side by side? I ordered Foma 400 ortho but will be braving a new world! Cheers Dan

I've tried Fomapan 100 in a Minox 8X11 camera, and it lacks the definition necessary for such a small format.

Thanks!

I've quite literally peeled off the label on some fomapan 100 bought directly from Foma Bohemia, and saw an Arista Edu 100 canister printed canister underneath. Thanks for this roll by roll comparison series, I would've completely assumed they were the same if it wasn't for your work!

@Kitsaplorax 8 месяцев назад

Is straight D76 the best developer here? Maybe D76 1:1 wouldn't have the grain softening results.

@TheNakedPhotographer 8 месяцев назад

I explained why I used straight. In fact, it’s in the explanation on every video in the series

@AdrianBacon 8 месяцев назад

The lack of sharpness is likely due to not having as good of an antihalation layer as 400TX. It’s finer grained for sure, but, doesn’t resolve as much.

@TheNakedPhotographer 8 месяцев назад

Could be. Seems sharp enough in large format, I shoot both 4x5 and 8x10 with it sometimes, but for 35mm I will be using something else.

@jolerodav 8 месяцев назад

@@TheNakedPhotographer If Arista EDU 100 is rebranded Fomapan 100 than this misfocus is strange. I've just compared Your results from Fomapan 100 comparison video and there You have much sharper print than here from Arista. So maybe Arista is prepared with less antihalation layer compared to Fomapan? X-Files ;)

@giuseppeg.8461 8 месяцев назад

@@jolerodav Foma is known for large batch variability. Arista could just be old stock or b-stock Foma. Indeed some people using Arista 100 in 120 have been commenting that the antihalation layer that washes out post-developing is blue. The anti halation layer for Foma was blue several years ago. It has now been green for a few years.

@Nobody-Nowhere 8 месяцев назад

I think this is Fomapan 100, the curve at least is identical.

@brycepinson8641 8 месяцев назад

Delta 100. pretty please?

@adrielrowley 8 месяцев назад

Regarding large format, or maybe even medium format, if using a vintage lens that is not as razor sharp as modern glass, is there any disadvantage using a less sharp film, such as this Arista EDU? Cheers, Adriel

@riffraffselbow 7 месяцев назад

it's certainly far less critical; even with modern clinical glass, typical working apertures in LF start around f/8 and only go up from there, and even if your lens resolves at the diffraction limit, that's about 3x less resolution (in lp/mm terms) when compared to f/2.8.

@wv_ 8 месяцев назад

I noticed some (or all) 120 Foma sold in Czech Republic has U L T R A written on it, I assumed this was as it was because it was the exact same film and they manufacture it together I would love to see a video series debunking a lot of the silly claims that films stocks are the same such as Kentmere 400, Agfa APX 400, Rollei RPX, and Ilford Pan 400 are the same film (which is ridiculous as some have wildly different development times)

@romyaz1713 8 месяцев назад

is it possible this film is less sensitive than advertised? it looks too contrasty here. maybe if you pull it to 50 or 25, the contrast curve will be less pronounced, there will be more latitude and the highlights will be more resolved - sharpness will improve
